Eagle Hill area thief
I just wanted to put some pictures up I was fortunate to capture last year! Lol I had a salt block out and a trail camera on it exactly 12 months ago to try and get some sheds out of the deal. I just mounted this trail camera on a fence post because it was the only thing in the area. I also had permission on the neighboring land and I'd seen boot tracks coming from the well site and walking all the trails one day. So I went up to my camera seen my salt block was missing, and started flicking through the pictures to find these gems!! Whoever it is, continued to walk all the trails even after he stole my salt. All this while on company time (There are two wells where he walks from)! Little did he know he was also on camera the whole time. Its close to the same time as last year, so if you happen upon this guy, now you know what kind of character your dealing with. If you have any similar theft pics where the thief was unknowingly busted, post em up so we all can laugh at them!!

I don't know if I saw salt without cattle around I would maybe think poacher.
If he's trespassing it's a different conversation entirely.

If a guy is walking off with salt blocks its obvious that he is not being paid enough.
Poor fella... the woes of a non-union laborer.
I'd send those pictures to whatever outfit he is working for demanding that they review his pay and make suitable adjustments so he will not feel compelled to do that anymore.

This was in February on private property of longtime family friends. And this is about 400 yards from the well. The only spot he IS allowed to be.

If it is the operator, it would take you about 4 mins. to find out who he is...if you're serious....

He took the salt, he must have seen the camera imo. At least you still have that.

The only thing i could think of was I had put the camera on a fence post painted yellow with a black top so unless you looked at the fence post directly you could miss it.
Hal I tried to find who the well belonged to (there is 3 different signs on the well with different names on each), and emailed the relations departments for each one but I never heard anything back.

That's my thoughts , lucky it's still there . Bet if he sees his pic on the net or at co-op , the cam will go missing next time .

Can't be the operator, he's not wearing proper PPE.

Why do you say he was at work or on work time?
I wear my coveralls when I'm not at work.

That is the type of "man" that is normaly a poucher. If that idiot took my salt ill make sure his boss tells him to put it back. Dont let it go. Hes a thief, a thief is a criminal. And a criminal should be punished. Thats my opinion.
